Although Patterson himself has predicted that he will emerge as a top-five playmaker, there is sentiment in some circles that his limited route tree and rudimentary instincts on route adjustments will end up holding the 2013 first-round pick back for another year or two.

It's one of the few legitimate concerns for a player as talented as Patterson.

Spend an hour or two with Game Rewind, and you will see that the majority of his rookie-season touches came within five yards of the line of scrimmage. His receptions were limited to bubble screens, slants, crossers and go routes.
